Anyone else play or used to play these? I turned to these after all my online accounts were self excluded. Typical gambler.
It's unbelievable how the bookmakers can get away with these things. When I was using them for in play betting (usually tennis), the current score of the match that is being shown on the screen is never accurate. So an example of this is Andy Murray is currently 6/5 to win the first set, and the score shown on the machine is 3-3. So you think - wow 6/5 is great value when that's the score. But then you place the bet and about 10 seconds later the score updates and the odds stay the same.
So Murray is still 6/5 to win the set but the score now shows as 3-4.
I hope this makes sense anyway but it's unbelievable how they can get away with this.
Any similar experiences?
There is no way on earth these machines couldn't be updated or something to make it all completely accurate and fast. It's all done on purpose to send the gambler crazy, which in turn leads to losing all money. That's just my opinion anyway.
The odds they give u are rubbish aswell
